1>.\Base.cpp(150) : error C2664: 'cDirectx::DrawString' : cannot convert parameter 5 from 'string' to 'const char *'

How could it be fixed.

On the argument the error is on, put this before it:

ur not gonna get help if u only put the error, and not the code

[zmansquared]

No code = we have no idea what you're doing, thus no idea how to help you.

Also, you shouldn't try to make hacks when you've got NO idea how to code in C++.

im learning through reading codes

here is the error

Directx.DrawString(10, 22, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 255), Directx.pFont, (const char*) stringify(ammo));

Why do you have "stringify" there in the first place?



a little hint. Good luck in learning! Though I suggest you try to learn coding normally first. It'll give you much better coding practices than some of these hack coders do.

If you have a string you can do this.

std::string str1 = "I am going to be a const char*";
str1.c_str();

std::string comes with some functions you know, it helps a lot to know the basics..

[php]
Directx.DrawString(10, 22, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 255), Directx.pFont, stringify(ammo).c_str());
[/php]

Edit: God, damnit, Seal... beat me... My bad..

Beat ya to the punch.


I had a terrible time with char*, const char*, and strings when I needed to convert between them to allow the typing in the custom PTC window.

Why didnt you just use C strings (char*) all the way?
